The warning signs were there, but they hid them well by chasing down the Wild for 1st in the West... something like 32 of 38 possible points at on time.

Nice to have a few extra days off as the Leafs and Capitals continue to blitz one another into (hopefully) a seven game series.
The Jackets deserved better though. As Torts put it in his postgame presser, this wasn't a 4-1 series. A better draw in the postseason, and Columbus gets to Round 2....but it is what it is. [Reply]
Tip of the cap to Nashville. They were by far the more relentless team. Their blue line defense was swarming. A hearty fuck you to Toews as well. [Reply]
